This week Hawkeye tries to fill in for Matt Damon, Tommy Lee Jones tries to get himself some, and Will Ferrell tries to be funny again.

These are the movies released in theaters Friday August, 10th 2012.
The Bourne Legacy - Rated PG-13
After Jason Bourne destroyed one Black Ops program, the CIA looks to destroy all of them which causes Aaron Cross (Jeremy Renner) some pain.  He is being targeted by Edward Norton.  I am not a huge fan of the Bourne series.  It always seemed like a watered downed american version of the James Bond series.  What I have seen I enjoyed.  Jeremy Renner is great as a action movie leading man.  Will the capture the feel and emotion of the original?

Verdict - This may not be great but I think it will be entertaining enough for me to give it a try at some point in the future.

The Campaign - Rated R
Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis opponents in a North Carolina congress campaign.  From the previous, Will Ferrell looks like he is playing a version of his George Bush character and Galifianakis is playing a character that seems like a version of his “Brother” Seth Galifianakis.  Both these characters have not been mined for a movie and are hilarious.  So I am ok with these guys ripping off their former characters.  Director Jay Roach (The Austin Powers and Meet The Parents franchises) seems a bit out of place but the stars may aline and this could be a home run.

Verdict - With Ferrell’s track record as of late, I am a bit skeptical.  But I still think this will be funny.

Hope Springs - Rated PG-13
Meryl Steep and Tommy Lee Jones have been married for 30 years and go to Steve Carrell to spice up their marriage I.E. sex.  Wait so this is a romantic comedy for old people?  Tommy Lee Jones is great in everything.  He is so awesome I am interested in Hope Springs.

Verdict - Eh maybe.  I hope I don’t throw up afterwards.

Nitro Circus: The Movie 3D - Rated PG-13
Travis Pastrana and his buddies do extreme sports on the movie screen NOW IN 3D!!  This is something that would be cool for fans of the Nitro Circus.

Verdict - I am too old to enjoy anything about extreme sports.  Is baseball on?  I would rather watch that.

The Lorax - Rated PG
Based on the Dr. Seuss Book, Zac Efron and Taylor Swift try to save the trees.  Animation look good but since the main character is voiced by Danny DiVito, I am sold

Next week stop motion zombies, some games that make me want to eat, AND CHUCK F’N NORRIS.  Chuck Norris doesn’t make movies.  He makes Documentaries.
